Today, Dave Spencer regularly
performs at Phoenixville’s Steel City Café where he also
works, but his music career began at age 5 when he began
playing piano. Throughout grade school, he played piano
for school shows and events. His interest across piano
genres has grown from concertos, sonatas and stage
musicals to swing band, blues and rock. By age 13, Dave
was composing his own music on piano and learning to play
guitar. At that time, he was even asked by his music
teacher to audition on piano for the Philadelphia
Orchestra.

As a teenager, Dave’s interest in
guitar grew. Throughout high school he played lead guitar
in an excellent three-piece jam band, Hot Fossil Project,
who strongly resembled Phish. They played school events,
parties and won numerous battle of the bands contests.
After high school, the band members split up to go to
different colleges, but Dave has continued to write and
play as a solo guitarist.

Now you can catch him either working
or performing at Steel City Café in Phoenixville where he
plays guitar, mandolin, ukulele and of course piano. He’s
personable with all types of audiences, and in turn has
been well received by them.
